The space has been outfitted with simple whites, grays and beiges to create an airy vibe for early to midday dining while a touch of brown allows for a warm, cozy dinner and cocktail experience.

"Guests at Shay & Ivy can expect to be greeted by lush greenery, caramel banquettes and natural woods and stone throughout the space. Marcello has been a great sounding board and will be a welcomed addition to all of our future projects," says Evan.

Signature dishes include Chili Salmon Crudo ($14), Burrata and Buttercup Squash ($11), Amish Freerange Roast Chicken ($27), and Grilled Berkshire Pork Chop for two ($48).
